Bay View Gallery Night

"The Me You Don't See"

friday, June 5th  5-9pm

Join us for an evening of art and poetry created by teens from Parkside School of the Arts.  In this exploration of the inner self, teens were asked to look deeper and share there perspective on who they feel they are on the inside compared to the self they show.  The vulnerability expressed by the artists is raw and inspiring.  Self-portraits were carved and printed on paper as the poem swirls and weaves in the background.  Witness the voice of our youth and show support for their brave self-expression.  

Continue the conversation over crepes and frozen yogurt! Pick-up an exclusive deal for our partner of the night, Cream City Swirl.

 “What is mindfulness?”
Aleisha had the privilege to ask two different 8th grade art classes if they have ever heard of mindfulness and what it means.  Not a single hand was raised.  To demonstrate the meaning of mindfulness, she asked the students to close their eyes and focus only on the moment as they are experiencing it.  What sensations are they feeling in their physical body? What thoughts are going through them? Are you feeling hot, cold, hungry, etc…? For one minute, the students entertained the idea of mindfulness and what she taught them was the simple practice of self-awareness.  We do not expect these kids to leave with a new perspective on life, or a new habit of paying closer attention to every moment in the present.  We do believe Aleisha had the opportunity to share an idea of how much more there is to their existence when they pay attention at any given moment.  These students will be continuing an exploration in mindfulness as they work on self-portraits.  Writing exercises will be used to access deeper connections between the outward and inward self.  Through weeks of focused attention on the skill set needed to create the portrait and the activities woven into the thought process of the project, the students will cultivate a new level of awareness that will shine in the work they create. 
 
We are proud to announce this collaboration and look forward to sharing these inspiring works of art on Friday, June 5, Bay View Gallery Night.  Save the date for this special event.  More details coming soon.

Introducing: Far Infrared Sauna Therapy @ Mke Mindbody Wellness

We are very excited to announce that Mke Mindbody Wellness now offers Far Infrared Sauna Therapy! Infrared sauna therapy provides the beneficial warmth and relaxation we crave this time of year.  Far infrared (FIR) waves are beneficial light waves that penetrate the skin surface up to two inches.   This deep warming of the skin surface heats up the blood vessels, tissues, and muscles which increases blood flow.  

This type of sauna has a lower more concentrated temperature that heats less of the air around you and more of the skin surface area. A lower air temperature allows for deep relaxation, easy breathing, and longer sessions providing you with deep therapeutic healing effects.

While you are naturally feeling the relief from the cold outside simply by warming up, your body is activating your immune system, promoting healthy blood flow, and releasing endorphins that relieve pain and promote relaxation.  Sound pretty great… it really is! Look at all of the ways FIR can be useful to your mindbody health:

  • Detoxification
  • Fat loss & Increased Metabolism
  • Heart Health
  • Mood Enhancement
  • Reduced Stress & Deep Relaxation
  • Improved Sleep
  • Chronic Pain Relief
  • Boost Immune System
